Skycasters may modify or terminate the STOS or Web Site with or without cause at any time. Skycasters shall not be liable to User or any third party for modification or termination of the Web Site or STOS. User’s continued use of the Web Site constitutes an affirmative: (i) acknowledgement by User of the STOS and/or Web Site and its modifications, and (ii) agreement by User to abide by and be bound by the STOS and/or Web Site and its modifications. Should User object to the Web Site, the STOS or any subsequent modifications thereto, User’s only recourse is to immediately: (x) discontinue use of the Web Site; (y) terminate Web Site membership; and (z) notify Skycasters of such termination.

The STOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Ohio, excluding its conflict of law provisions. User and Skycasters agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Summit County, Ohio or any federal court located within the Northern District of Ohio, and User waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or venue with respect to such jurisdiction in Ohio. If any provision(s) of the STOS is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Skycasters’ failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the STOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Skycasters in writing.
